Staying Motivated!

Remember - pressure is how diamonds are made.

 
It is really important to notice and remember when we do something goo, great and outstanding because we can only build on success.
 
Take notice when you have done something well and then decide to do it again each time you do that step. Click "SAVE" to stay that way. And if you slip... tighten the laces!
 
Staying Motivated:
 
Motive (n):
the reason for doing something or behaving in a particular way.
 
There is no doubt that some days can seem better than others and sometimes we can be motivated and some days we seem unmotivated with lower energy. That is part of being human and it's OK, however we don't want it to stay that way especially if we can do something about it.
 
If you want to be motivated & inspired each day there is something you need to remember:
 
  • Your purpose
  • The reasons
  • What it means to YOU!
If someone asks you, "Why do you dance every day" and you reply, "I dunno", that might not keep you very inspired or motivated. If you have thought about and written out your purpose then you will have more chance of sticking at it and staying motivated, especially when the going gets tough.
 
If someone asks you “Why do yo dance every day?", you will definitely feel motivated & inspires if you know i your heart the answer is...
 
"Because dancing fills me up with joy, gives me energy, gives me an emotional rush that cannot b e explained in words. It makes me a better person, stretches me physically and emotionally. I want to be the very best I can be and enjoy the audience's cheers & applause when I have made them feel that special rush. I want to be proud of myself & dancing gives me that. It also gives me friends, teachers and audience members who are proud of me.... and I LOVE IT!!"
 
So here are some questions to ask yourself:
  1. Why do you dance?
  2. What keeps you going back to dancing?
  3. What do you love about it?
  4. What does it feel like?
  5. What keeps you motivated when the going gets tough?
Write the answers down in your journal.
Create your answer to that question, "Why do you dance every day?"
Leave me a comment- I would LOVE to hear what keeps you motivated & inspired!
 
Dancingly yours~
